The new p2 update mechanism can handle the old update site format, so
you don't really have to change it to accommodate 3.4 users. However,
the p2 team seems to strongly recommend that you move to the new format
because apparently p2 is a lot more efficient that way.
All the info you need is probably available from here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2
Hope this helps,
Eric

To be clear, the "new format" adds some extra files to the site, but
doesn't alter the existing site.xml or other files. Thus a p2 repository
and Update Manager site can coexist at the same URL.
